I have just successfully done this.
I had problems trying to compile with gcc 2.7.2 so I installed the gcc
2.95 package and did all my compiles using it.
Here is what I did...
1. install gcc 2.95 port.
2. cd /usr/bin and rename cc and gcc to *.old and symlink cc and gcc to
/usr/local/bin/gcc295 (Remember to delete the .old entries once you're
finished)
I did the cc/gcc rename as the buildworld kept complaining that it
couldn't find gcc295. :(
Then I built the 4.0-CURRENT config so I could build a kernel.
2. update to current sources (cd /usr ; cvs co src)
3. cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config
4. "make ; make install"
Created and built the new kernel.
5. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
6. create new kernel config file
7. config -r KERNEL
8. cd /usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL
9. "make depend ; make ; make install"
Then booted into the kernel to do the rest of the install.
10. reboot into single user mode (boot -s)
11. mount / /usr /var /tmp (readwrite)
12. cd /usr/src
13. "make buildworld" (I think at this point I had problems using the
"-j14" parm)
14. "make installworld"
15. cd /etc
16. run "mergemaster" and update your configuration
17. reboot into 4.0-CURRENT
Then I rebuilt the kernel with a complete 4.0-CURRENT toolset.
18. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
19. "config -r KERNEL"
20. cd /usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL
21. "make depend ; make ; make install"
22. reboot
This was done on a Dell PowerEdge 2300 with Dual PIII 450s, 512Mb RAM and
54Gb disk (3 x 9Gb in a Vinum stripe).
